34-Year-Old Martinique Flight Attendant Angélique Angarni-Filopon Wins Miss France 2025

Dec 15, 2024, 09:00 AM

Angélique Angarni-Filopon, a 34-year-old flight attendant from the French Caribbean island of Martinique, was crowned Miss France 2025, becoming the oldest winner in the pageant's history. The election took place at the Futuroscope Arena in Chasseneuil-du-Poitou, with Angarni-Filopon winning over 30 candidates from various French regions. Her victory marks a historic moment as the Miss France contest has recently relaxed its rules to allow women over 24 to compete. Despite her win, Angarni-Filopon was not the public's favorite, with Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais receiving more public votes in the second round. The pageant was presented by Jean-Pierre Foucault, who was described as the star of the evening, and the jury was chaired by singer Sylvie Vartan. Angarni-Filopon's triumph signifies a shift in the pageant's criteria, emphasizing that there is no expiration date for women aspiring to be Miss France.
